Job Description
Program Manager, PDLC
Vasion
• Operate as an embedded PDLC practitioner, modeling the framework and helping cross-functional partners understand why it exists and how to use it • Coach engineering and product management team members on PDLC practices by meeting them where they are, not where the playbook says they should be • Build trust through consistency, follow-through, and genuine partnership, not process authority • Communicate the value of the PDLC to engineering clearly and often: reduced context-switching, clearer scope handoffs, fewer rebuilds, better predictability • Partner with the VP of PgM to build, document, and refine processes, templates, stage gate criteria, and governance standards • Develop and maintain playbooks and documentation that make the PDLC accessible across Product Management and Engineering • Translate on-the-ground experience into framework improvements • Own the full lifecycle of assigned programs from Discovery through Grow: scope, timelines, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables at every stage • Build program plans that give Product Management, Engineering, Design, QA, and Go-to-Market a shared view of what is happening, what is next, and who owns what • Stay ahead of risks and blockers; bring well-reasoned options to the VP before problems compound • Facilitate kick-offs, stage gate reviews, cross-functional syncs, and retrospectives to drive clear outcomes and documented next steps every time • Serve as the day-to-day coordination point between Product Management, Engineering, Design, QA, and Go-to-Market for programs in your portfolio • Surface and resolve cross-team misalignments and dependency conflicts before they impact delivery • Maintain accurate, up-to-date program documentation throughout the full lifecycle • Treat documentation as a core part of program quality in order to make programs reproducible, learnable, and increasingly agent-ready
